there is a setting in JMeter for distributed testing that changes how the results are returned to the console/gui.

in the past, when I've done stress testing, I used systems with dual ethernet cards and 2 switches. all jmeter traffic ie, master slave traffic) goes on 1 switch, while the other traffic (actual http requests) is on a separate one.

While there is a wait time in my case (Gaussian-distribution controller with constant delay of 2 sec and deviation of 5 sec), it's more important that each request takes 30 seconds to complete on the server (I just put the current thread to sleep in JSP). So, therse requests necessarily overlap. As far as running multiple instances wired to a single GUI instance, the only time I tried that it

Interesting results. I'm actually surprised you were able to run 800 concurrent threads. Being a jmeter committer, I've run jmeter with 500 threads with zero wait time. A more realistic setting is 250-300 threads per jmeter client. JMeter in GUI mode is very heavy. In console mode, 500-600 threads is feasible with short wait times. Supporting 800 or more concurrent threads in JMeter is
